EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty of a Moccasin crafted by the American School in the 19th century. Made from a combination of leather, cloth, and glass beads, this piece showcases the skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail that was characteristic of Native American artistry during this time period.
Measuring at 25 cm in length, this Moccasin originates from the Eastern Great Lakes region and is now housed at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. The delicate beadwork and herringbone stitch on display highlight the cultural significance and artistic traditions of the Iroquois tribe, showcasing their mastery of traditional techniques such as shingled stitching.
The use of deerskin adds a natural element to this piece, further connecting it to its Indigenous roots. This artifact serves as a tangible link to history, offering viewers a glimpse into the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Native American cultures in North America.
As we admire this exquisite creation by Kickapoo from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the importance of preserving and celebrating these cultural treasures for future generations to appreciate. Each stitch tells a story, each bead carries meaning – making this Moccasin not just an accessory but a symbol of tradition and identity.
